Following registration, a full account for the year is sent out for every student. It is the responsibility of the student to ask for an account if one was not received by mail. Students can log in to the student portal to check and update their address details.
If student fees are paid in full before or on 31st of March, a discount of 3% will be granted provided that the parent or guardian completes the prescribed form (MSWord) and hands it in at the Student Fees Section for processing of the application. (Not applicable to international students.)
Please note: Study fees for the relevant year must be paid in full before your application for rebate can be considered. Once the written application has been approved and calculated, the relevant percentage rebate will be refunded. The rebate should therefore not be deducted from the full amount due when making payment.
Rebate on study fees If three or more children from the same family are simultaneously registered for a full-time programme at the University, a rebate of 10% per student may be granted on the study fees of each student, provided that the parent or guardian completes the prescribed form and hands it in at the Student Fees Section for processing of the application.
